Peggy,
If the original poster can't correct, anyone viewing the pictures (when view mode is active) can use the small "arrow" circle in top right margin of picture that appears by holding the cursor over that section of the screen and clicking the circle. It will rotate the picture for the viewer so they can see in correct viewing position. However, it does not make a permanent change to the attached pictures. Just temporarily reorients them.
Hope this is helpful info.
Dan

Finally time to get to work on my Grandpa's (now mine) truck!
So at least that helps the viewer. As folks get more use to posting images, maybe they'll put them up upright. Or, it may not matter to most folks.
I guess I'm thinking ahead ... I think UBB has a "custom" feed that brings up random images. Have seen that on other sites. Thought it was cool but hadn't gotten any of the details on how it *actually* works.
Good enough.

If the original poster brings the photo (on his/her computer) into the Paint program. rotates it, and then saves it, I think the photo will retain its orientation.
Then, he or she can edit the post on Stovebolt, use the Attachment Manager to delete the photo, upload it again, and click Done. Then click Change Post and I think all will be okay.
I don't know if a Moderator save a copy of the photo and then use the above process to get the orientation correct. It might be worth a try.
It's always best to get the orientation correct before uploading it.

I think anyone can copy a picture that someone has posted. But only a moderator (or the OP) can edit a poster's post and replace the photo.
